NEW YORK (Reuters) - Four times Olympian Chris Chelios will serve as captain of the U.S. ice hockey team for a third consecutive Winter Games, USA Hockey announced.
The 44-year-old Chelios, who plays for the Detroit Red Wings, will be the oldest American to compete in a Winter Games ice hockey tournament when he takes the ice in Turin, USA Hockey said in a statement.
He was the captain of the U.S. teams at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Games, leading the Americans to a silver medal in Salt Lake City four years ago.
